In the last thirty of 20th Century, Mohamed Chukri (1935-2003) was a key figure in the autobiographical genre oh the Mediterranean literature. His fictional trilogy places him among the best writer in Arabic. His oeuvre has been translated into French, Spanish and English. Thanks to these translations, Chukri has received a considerable amount of attention from literary critics all around the world.

Tennessee Williams in Tangier (2017) leads us to study Chukri's autobiographical writing through a bifrontal axis: a) shed light on the dialogues between the American author and the Moroccan minstrel, their perspectives on literature, and their living experience in a cosmopolitan Tangier; b) to reflect on the links between the autobiography and diary genres, and the links between literature and historiography. These reflections, from a theoretical and philosophical order -and always from the Chukri's perspectives- are articulated around the act of writing itself.

Palabras llave : Mohamed Chukri; Autobiography; Tennessee Williams; Diary; International Tangier.
